Why people leave Kit (ConvertKit)
Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is an email platform for creators with automations and paid-newsletter support. Paid Creator plans list from $25/mo for 1,000 subscribers (about $290/yr), scaling with list size. That is roughly $290 per year — about $1,450 over five years — and access stops the moment you cancel: the fee is for permission, not for ongoing work done on your behalf. The tools above do their slice of the job on your own hardware or your own server, so the cost is fixed at the sticker price.
